The two domains (owned by Tucows) did not sell at NameJet, “Reserve Not Met” in both cases. 175 bids by 165 bidders generated a high bid of $10,600 for Tajikistan.com, while 182 bids from 169 bidders generated a high bid of $8,599 for Congressman.com.
In my opinion, there would have been considerably more activity if bidders would have been able to see a reserve range. Without a reserve range, it seems that you’re bidding against yourself with no end in sight, so a lot of bidders probably decided to stay away.
Maybe NJ should make it possible for private sellers to display reserve ranges or maybe even a short description, just my 2 cents.

@Xdreamer: most domain registration companies have portfolios, not just Tucows. Business is business and at the end of the day, everyone wants to make more money. Nothing wrong with that IMO.
